This collection is information from English-language recipe sites in 2017-06 and 2017-07. Criteria for inclusion in the dataset is the size of the recipe collection (# of recipes) and the number of authors (I have omitted blogs, cookbooks, etc even where considerably famous or large). This collection is intended for researchers, for someone making software tools, and as an archive. Unless you know better, you don't want to try and explore this data as a cook. You won't be able to find anything, and if you do it will be in JSON format and much uglier than recipes meant for humans to read.

See the included file MANIFEST for more detail.
